United States Circuit Court asking that order
be issued requiring Leland Stanford to show
why he should not be compelled to answer
certain questions asked him Wednesday in
regard to the disposition made by him of certain
moneys charged to the general and total expense
account of the Central Pacific company. rep
resented by vouchers produced and shown to
him, which vouchers did not show the DISPOSE
ton of the money or to whom it was paid by
him. The petition also recites that the amount
of such moneys expended between 1870 and 1880
aggregated 1874, 900. and that Senator Stanford
declines to answer questions as to whom he
paid the money whether any part paid
for the purpose of influencing legislation and
that he also declined to state who were the at

Commotion Among Diplomates

tCopyrlght, the New York Associated Pressl
BERLIN, Aug. 13-With Prince Bsmarck's
return from Varzin the repose of the Diplomatic
circle, unbrokeu for weeks. has been succeeded
by commotion His coming conference with
Count Kalnoky, at kissingen, is expected to lead
to new developments in the policy of an Austro-
German alliance against Russia The over
lures made by Russia to have Count Schouval
off, the Russian ambassador at Berlin, take
part in the consne conference, were coldiy
ceived and were not pushed. Instead of con-
ferring with the Russian representative, Prince
Bismarck during his stay at kissingen, will
receive the envoy of the Italian govern
ment and Dr. Won. Schloezer. the Prus-
sian minister to the Vatican. Monsignor
the papal nuncio at Vienna, is also
reported to be seeking an interview with Prince
Bismarck. These movements have given rise to
reports that the adhesion of Italy to the alliance
had become uncertain since Prince Bismarck
appeared to favor the claims of the Pope in the
latter's negotiation for an entente cordiale with
the Italian government. The story is credited
that Count Di Robilant, the ex-Foreign Minister
of Italy, received privately by Prince Bis
narck at Varzin, and that there was a prolonged
interview between them. resulting in renewal
of the alliance, which will be formally and pub
licly announced after the conference with Count
Kalnoky. 1taly's adhesion will all bat imply
check to Mgr. Calm berti's mission.
